This creamy keto cucumber coleslaw is such a fun change from other coleslaw recipes. The addition of chopped cucumber adds awesome flavor and awesome crunch to this dish. You can serve this as a side for everyday meals or for barbecues, parties, potlucks, and all kinds of get togethers!

Let’s talk about our coleslaw ingredients!

I love cooking and I make most things homemade. But sometimes there are shortcuts which are quick and delicious options to making things completely homemade. I’ll often buy some green and red cabbage and cut it to make my own coleslaw mix. Sometimes I’ll add a shredded carrot and sometimes I leave that out. But I also love the convenience of buying a bag of coleslaw mix and think it’s a delicious option. I do tear up any large pieces of cabbage when I buy a mix. To our coleslaw mix, we add our star ingredient, cucumber. I used an English cucumber for my coleslaw, but you can also use a regular cucumber. In order to avoid having a watery coleslaw, I used a spoon to remove the seeds from my cucumber. For the onion, I used a red onion. Alternately, you can use a yellow onion if you’d like.

How do I make the dressing for this creamy keto cucumber coleslaw?

The dressing for this coleslaw comes together quickly, but it’s amazingly creamy and flavorful! The creamy base for our dressing comes from keto mayonnaise. I used the Chosen Food brand avocado oil mayo to make my dressing. When buying mayonnaise, you’ll want to make sure there is no added sugar or oils you don’t want. We then add apple cider vinegar which gives the perfect amount of acidity to this dressing. I added 1 tablespoon of keto sugar to my coleslaw, but you can add more if you’d like a sweeter dressing. For seasoning, we add celery seed, dill weed, salt, and pepper. If you’d like to use fresh dill, you’ll want to use about 1½ teaspoons of fresh in place of the ½ teaspoon of dried. You can also give your slaw a taste and add even more salt if you’d like.

What are some ways I can serve this creamy keto cucumber coleslaw?

You have some awesome low carb options for serving this coleslaw! It’s perfect for a lunch or dinner side dish, and can even be served as part of any brunch menu. You can serve this coleslaw for everyday meals, and it also makes a great addition to barbecues, parties, and potlucks. This coleslaw pairs nicely with any cooked meat including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood mains. You can serve it with anything from burgers and keto sandwiches to roasts and steaks. I think coleslaw makes a perfect addition to pulled chicken and pulled pork, and this cucumber version will always be a big hit. You can also serve this coleslaw with keto sandwiches, lettuce wraps, meatballs, and as a side for almost any keto casserole.
